More Information
Summary:In various embodiments, a radiation therapy method can include loading a planning image of a target in a human. In addition, the position of the target can be monitored. A computation can be made of an occurrence of substantial alignment between the position of the target and the target of the planning image. Furthermore, after the computing, a beam of radiation is triggered to deliver a dosage to the target in a short period of time (e.g., less than a second). Selon divers modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne une méthode de radiothérapie pouvant consister à charger une image de planification d'une cible chez un être humain. De plus, la position de la cible peut être surveillée. Une occurrence d'alignement substantiel entre la position de la cible et la cible de l'image de planification peut être calculée. En outre, après le calcul, un faisceau de rayonnement est déclenché en vue de fournir un dosage à la cible dans une courte période de temps (par exemple, moins d'une seconde).
